the leading business firms of the city.
In 1817 when the Bruce Dry Dock Co.
lifted Its first vessel, the schooner "John
Francis." that company entertained the
business- men of the city with luncheon.
In the talks that ensued, Thomas A.
Johnson, the organizer of the company,
tt..ted that one pf his pet dreams had
lieen realised, but t hat he would not be
satisfied until Pensacola was able to
boast of a dock that was capable of
handling the largest vessels that could
make Pensacola. a facility that would
be fitting to the wonderful harbor pos
sessed by this port. At that time the
words were taken as an expression of a
wish that would hardly be fulfilled.

1,200,000 Miners Are Idle as Re
sult of Controversy Over
Wage Issue.
PITS ARE SAFEGUARDED
TO PREVENT FLOODING
No Trouble is Reported to Have
Occurred in Any of the
,Mine Districts.
(By The Associated Press.)
LONDON, April 1. The universal
cessation of work by the coal miners
has taken effect with remarkable qui
etude and under circumstances in
strong contract with all recent labor
disputes whether pn the part of the
railroad men, the miners or industries.
The course of these previous disputes
was characterized by active confer
ences and negotiations between the
parties concerned and ministers and
other members of the government, all
of whom displayed anxiety to find a
path of settlement.
On this occasion there has been
nothing of the kind since Thursday's
meeting of the board of trade. Neither
side has made the least approach to
ward negotiations. This is explained
partly, as far as the government is
concerned, by the fact that abolition
of control of the coal industry is considered-
to relieve the ministers of the
responsibility of intervening in the dis
pute. The government holds that it Is
a matter to be settled between the
miners and the mine owners.
Up to the present the order with
drawing the engineers and pumper's
has been largely Ignored. v Whether
this is with the cognizance of the min
vening both houses for Monday.
vLiveIy debates are anticipated in
parliament as not only the laborite
1 but the liberal press, while conceding
that the miners under the present ex
ceptional depression must expect some
reduction In wages, thrown, the whole
blame for the dispute upon the gov
ernment on th ground that the aboli
tion of government control of mines
five months before the proper time,
merely because the industry is suffer
ing adverse conditions, is unjustified
and unfair to the miners. It is also
argued that, instead of the mine own
ers having given the miners an ulti

by her to the allied anil associated
powers in the war.
Whatever form the conclusion of

Germany may take, he is said to have

"not to weaken in any way the morale

of adequate and just reparation.
Germany Must Pay
Her Obligations,
Says Uncle Sam
Administration Will Not Con
sider Any Proposition from
Germany.
(By The Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON. April 1. Rumors
via London of conversations between
Germany and the United States as to
reparation payments brought an au
thoritative statement from adminis
tration officials today that the atti
tude of the United States toward Ger
many is that she must accept her re
sponsibility for the war and pay. her
obligations to the fullest extent she is
able. The London advices from Berlin
said it was understood Germany had
made certain proposals to the United
States regarding reparation payments,
including- a suggestion that she as
sumed liability for part of the debts of
allied powers to the United States.
There was no confirmation of the re
ceipt of any such proposal, although
Commissioner Dressel at Berlin has
reported one conversation with Ger
man officials in 'which the reparations
question came up. The nature of these
conversations was not disclosed. In
connection with the subject, however,
occasion was taken to. make perfectly
clear the general attitude of the new
administration toward all matters In
volved in the controversy between the
allied powers and Germany which led
to occupation of additional German
territory. The policy of this govern
ment was summed up in the terse as
sertion that Germany must accept full
responsibility for the war and pay her
liabilities to the full extent of her
ability.
Berlin Is Not Optimistic.
BERLIN, April 1. The suggestion
that the United States become the
creditor of Germany by accepting Ger
man bonds in lieu of the debts the en
tente powers owe the United States is
popular with the ' Cermaas. who have
proposed it several times before the
reopnt overtures.
It is regarded a& unlikely, however,
in Berlin official circles, that the Unit
ed States will seriously consider sych
a proposition until the .entente .an
nounces positively the total reparation
claims it will attempt to collect from
Germany. This should be done May 3.
according to the Versailles treaty.
After this sum Is announced, the finan
cial experts will be -'able to judge Ger
many's ability to pay.

CLAIM PERPETRATORS
HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED
Are Members of Same Radical
Group Responsible for
Bomb Outrages in 1919.
(By The Associated ress)
NEW YORK. April 1. Important
facts In possession of federal and mu
nicipal authorities bearing on the so
lution of the mystery surrounding the
Wall street bomb explosion of Sept.
16, 1920, were made known here today
from two official sources.
Wrilllam J. Flynn, chief of the bureau
of investigation of the department of
justice, stated thai the perpetrators
had been identified weeks ago by
agents of the department as members
of the same radical group of plotters
responsible for the bomb, outrages of
1919 in various eastern cities and that
a vigorous international hunt for them
is in progress. This announcement was
substantiated by a statement before
the board of estimate by Maurice E.
Connolly, president of the borough of I
Queens, who urged delay of the pro
posal to increase the reward from
$10,000 to $50,000.
"The mystery may be entirely
solved," he said, "by the time the spe
cial committee to be appointed by
Mayor Hyland is ready to report on
the proposition of increasing the re
ward." The iorough president, in explaining
his stand, declared the authorities
"are well on the way toward solution
of the mystery. Anything we may do
now might interfere with their plans,"
he added.
Chief Flynn confirmed the report
that he had distributed to postmasters
in communities within a hundred miles
of New York composite photographs
of the man sought as the driver of the
"death wagon," found blown to bits
and believed to have contained a time
bomb. He said the photographs had
been sent out confidentially a month
ago.
A man who claimed to have seen the
driver of the wagon, examined some
500 photographs of men the depart
ment believed might have been con
nected with the plot. This man picked j
out two pictures that he said resom-j
bled the driver. Then chief Flynn had
made a composite wash drawing of
these two.
No Report Made to Washington.
WASHINGTON, April 1. Officials
of the department of justice declined
tonight to comment upon the
statement in New York of Wm. J.
Flynn, chief of the bureau of investi

perpetrators of the Wall street bomb
explosion of last September. All infor

AND GIVE BAIL
Men Indicted in Connection with
Ball Scandal Expected in
Chicago Today.
(By The Associated Press).
CHICAGO, April 1. Carl Zork and
Ben Franklin, St. Louis men recently
indicted in the second grand jury, in
vestigation of the baseball scandal, and
said by state officials to have organized
the alleged conspiracy for Chicago
White Sox players to throw the 1919
world's series to Cincinnati, are ex
pected to surrender here tomorrow and
give bail, Robert K. Crowe, state's at
torney, said tonight.
At the same time it became known
that most of the other 16 men indicted
with Zork and Franklin were ready to
surrender if bail could be fixed at what
attorneys termed "a reasonable figure."
Bail for each indcited person was fixed
in the indictments at $48,000. Thomas
D. Nash, attorney for Buck Weaver,
Swede Risburg. Happy Felsch and Fred
McMullin, four indicted White Sox
players, announced tonight he would
go before Judge C. A. McDonald Mon

indicted then was required to furnish
$10,000 except Eddie Cicotte, who was
released on $5,000 bond.

here this morning received assurances
from Budapest that Charles realizes
the futility of his hope and is pre

It is understood he will await the
action of the Hungarian parliament
this afternoon and bow as gracefully
as possible to its constitutional de
cree against him. which already has
been foreshadowed in the Vienna mon
archist organs.
The police are endeavoring to learn
where Charles spent good Friday night

Count Erdody, one of the former em
peror's supporters, is the count's
father-in-law, it has been difficult to
make him talk about visitors to the

CONFERENCE OF OWNERS
AND MEN WILL BE HELD
Shipping Board to Take Final
Action After Agreements
Are Reached.
(By The Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON. April 1. Decision to
reduce wages of the 60.000 men em
ployed on American shipping operating
out of Atlantic and gulf ports was reach
ed today at a conference of representa
tives of the American Steamship Own
ers' association and Chairman Benson,
of the shipping board.
Agreements under which the seamen
are working expire May 1. and the
steamship owners sought the approval
of the board to a plan for readjusting
wages and working conditions. Tho
board, however, declined approval of
any specific - plan. Chairman Benson
said, and the terms of the wage re
ductions proposed by the owners were
not made public.
The steamship owners were told, .lie
chairman announced, that the board was
thoroughly in harmony with ihe view
that there must Vie readjustment of
wages necessitating a reduction. re

tions.
The board insisted, however, the chair
man added, that before any definite ac
tion is taken in readjusting wages, con
ferences must be held between the
owners and the men. After new work
ing agreements have been tentatively
decided upon at these conference.-, he
said, the hoard will take up the snatter
for final decision.
The steamship men expressed them
selves as in accord with the board's
iews, the chairman continued, adding
that conferences would begin soon be

less operators on the Atlantic and gulfr
coasts. Working agreements with the
masters and mates, it was said, do not

seamen on the Pacific coast, officials
said, probably would be started upon
completion of the eastern conferences.
